Abu Sa’id (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “A man in Paradise will recline for seventy years 1 before moving. Then a woman will come to him and tap his shoulder. He will see his face in her cheek, clearer than a mirror. The smallest pearl on her will illuminate what is between the East and the West. She will greet him, and he will return the greeting, asking, ‘Who are you?’ She will say, ‘I am from 2 the increase.’ She will be wearing seventy garments, and his gaze will penetrate them until he sees the marrow of her legs. On her will be crowns, the smallest pearl of which would illuminate what is between the East and the West.”

Note 1
(1) His statement: “seventy years”: This is an accusative of specification for “years,” in the accusative by omitting the preposition, meaning on seventy supports or reclining one after another, each with a different color and type of adornment. His statement: “before moving”: meaning from one side to another, and it is an adverbial clause for “recline.” His statement: “tap his shoulder”: meaning a tap of affection and allure, drawing attention to the beauty observed. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)
Note 2
(2) His statement: “I am from the increase”: This refers to Allah’s saying: “They will have whatever they wish therein, and with Us is more” [Qaf: 35]. The best of the “more” is what Allah says: “For those who do good is the best and more” [Yunus: 26], meaning Paradise and the vision of Allah, Exalted is He. It is called “more” because the best is Paradise, which Allah promised as a reward for the deeds of the accountable, and the “more” is an additional favor. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)

(۲) قوله : أنا من المزيد: يراد به ما في قوله تعالى: ﴿لَهُم مَّا يَشَاءُونَ فِيهَا وَلَدَيْنَا مَزِيدٌ ﴾ (ق: ٣٥)، ومن المزيد أفضلها ما قاله سبحانه: ﴿لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا الْحُسْنَى وَزِيَادَةٌ﴾ (يونس: (٢٦) أي الجنة ورؤية الله تعالى، وإنما سميت زيادة؛ لأن الحسنى هي الجنة، وهي ما عد الله تعالى بفضله جزاء لأعمال المكلفين، والزيادة فضل على فضل. كذا في «المرقاة».
